Château de Montgey, Medieval castle in Montgey, France.

The castle features four towers surrounding a central courtyard, with massive stone walls exceeding three meters in thickness and a gallery with eight arches.

In 1211, the castle became a battleground where Jourdain de Roquefort successfully defended against Simon de Montfort's forces during the Albigensian Crusade.

A Roman-era sculpted head remains embedded in the castle walls, demonstrating the ancient occupation of the Montgey site.

The castle welcomes visitors during Heritage Days, offering access to the main halls and defensive towers.

The southeast tower maintains its original defensive system, while underground passages accessible from the park date back to the castle's initial construction.
